Social Media can be a powerful tool to connect with like-minded people all over the world. We value friends and associates who share our same goals. Normally we are drawn to genuine, optimistic, and self-focused individuals who share our passion and can become our biggest cheerleaders. Not only do we value the community setting, we stay accountable by divulging our goals and dreams. Social Media can help bring people together. One of the biggest platforms that is used for this purpose is Facebook and more specifically the “groups” division.

How do I get started? Such a broad statement when it comes to health and wellness. Narrow down what you want and how you are going to get it. Finding your social media circle is quite literally at your fingertips. Searching for your community through Facebook is easy when you find the right group. Are you wanting to find your spinning enthusiasts? Are you needing some Pickleball friends locally? Need accountability for starting a new challenge? These groups will connect you with like minded individuals that all share a common goal.

What is my vision for my journey? Is your goal to lose weight? Do you find yourself needing a new hobby? By extending yourself to those in your group, connecting with fellow friends help you see your vision in new light and deepens the passion. Visualize your goals and share them with your community. You will be surprised how invested your community will be in your personal journey.
